My mom's magic touch

When I ordered flowers two weeks before our wedding, the florist told me I could save some money if we got the flower girl petals ourselves.  The florist told me how far in advance we could pick off the petals, and he told me how to store them well.  So, my mom and I bought two dozen roses two days before the wedding.  Somehow, the basket was filled (lots of things happened in those last two days that I had no idea about at the time!), and my mom saved the stems.  After the wedding, she planted the stems, and most of them have died in the last three months.  

This morning, however, I was checking my email, and this picture was there from my mom's yard!  One of the stems bloomed this week.  I thought it was really cool!
